Although major genetic improvements have been made in crops, progress in conventional breeding programs has been slow. In fact, most crops grown in the US produce less than their full genetic potential. These shortfalls in yield are due to the inability of crops to tolerate or adapt to environmental stresses, pests, and diseases. This book provides students with a basic understanding of the concepts that contribute to agricultures biotechnology revolution. Each chapter of this comprehensive text includes topics such as IPR, mergers and a acquisitions and the uses of biotechnology and biotech careers. Also included is a thorough examination of the controversy and concerns over the use of genetic engineering, genetically modified organisms, cloning and their potential dangers to humans and the environments. This information enables students to engage and utilize the texts science-based content in classroom discussions and research activities.
